Falling into His Arms | comment |
A woman literally falls into a man's arms. It's a dramatic and romantic scene, so it's naturally a common setup for Meet Cute. It's also such an old trope that it has standard subversions and parodies. Played straight, it's almost always a man successfully catching a woman. It can be subverted by having the falling woman squash her would-be hero, or by having her miss him entirely, especially with animation's Amusing Injuries or if the girl was deliberately trying to invoke this trope by pretending to faint or something. Because Falling into His Arms is so romantic, it can be easily parodied by having a man fall into a man's arms, preferably those of his closest male friend, for a bit of comedic Homoerotic Subtext. That can also be combined with one of the standard subversions. Another old variation is for a man to be the waiting arms beneath the windows of a burning building when a mom decides that her baby would have a better chance of surviving if she tossed it. More intense drama, no romance (unless the mom survives, is single, and is sufficiently impressed). The baby Falling into His Arms has two standard subversions too. One is for the man to miss the catch, and the other is for it to turn out to be something else wrapped up in swaddling clothes, such as an ugly pet. Or an ugly baby, for that matter. Maybe he wouldn't have gone to the trouble to save that face. The trope can also be reversed, with a man falling into a woman's arms, or a woman falling into another woman's arms. A standard parody of the baby toss is for the woman to toss an ever-growing number of increasingly large and heavy objects into her hero's waiting arms, until eventually — wait for it — he gets squashed. Because it's funny! If the man deliberately decides to miss the catch, it overlaps with The Not Catch. In all such cases, it's Not the Fall That Kills You…. Compare Catch a Falling Star and Diving Save. May overlap with Rescue Hug and continue into Bridal Carry. |

It's a variant with children instead of adults, but in GO-GO Tamagotchi! episode 1, Himespetchi tries to invoke the trope to make her grand re-entrance onto Tamagotchi Planet after having been Put on a Bus. She falls out of the sky in a wedding dress, fully expecting to land in Mametchi's arms so that she can express her love for him. She lands in Spacytchi's arms instead. | |

Ranma ½: This is how Kodachi thinks she met Ranma Saotome, although she'd actually met "her" a few hours earlier. Ironically, the reason he had to catch her in the first place was that he'd accidentally beaned her with a kettle, but no matter — she finds it very romantic and falls immediately in love with him, to his vast dismay. | |

Males have been falling into Supergirl's arms for decades. Depending on the situation it was played for drama, romance... or laughs. As an example, in "Good-Looking Corpse", Supergirl catches a young boy falling from a rooftop, and then she finds out he willingly jumped off the building as a ploy to introduce himself and ask her number. | |

Dragon Ball: It happens a few times in early in the series, the first time was when Bulma falls out of an exploding vehicle, Goku caught her with ease amusing considering Goku was half her size at the time. Another time Bulma was falling, it was Yamcha who caught her but due to his shyness around beautiful women, he dropped her immediately. Goku does this his wife Chi-Chi later in Dragon Ball Z, when he wakes up after recovering from the heart virus, Chi-Chi is so overjoyed she hugs him Goku responds in kind by spinning her around and even throwing her up in the air (a little too high) and catching her. It's a sweet moment. |

In Final Fantasy XII, the main character catches Amalia in just this fashion. The dramatic version is also used in FFVIII when the team stages a commando raid on the facility about to freeze the love interest. Squall smashes the tank and Rinoa falls forward into his arms. |

This is how the protagonist meets Victor Frankenstein in Code:Realize (no, not THAT Victor Frankenstein... well, actually, kinda... it's complicated.) He rescues her from a group of men attempting to sexually assault her by throwing a makeshift bomb which stuns those in its vicinity. Which, incidentally, also includes her. Before she can fall and hit the ground though, he catches her and reassures her he's not going to hurt her. If you choose to pursue him, this happens several more times during his route. Overlaps with Rescue Hug. | |

Inverted twice in Avatar: The Last Airbender, where Katara catches Aang. The first time plays the trope more traditionally, as he tumbles into her arms after leaving the Avatar State, opens his eyes to see her face and falls in love. The second combines this with Pietà Plagiarism, as she catches his falling corpse after Azula turns off his floating for him. |

In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Florina the Pegasus Knight with a crippling phobia of men falls out of the sky and lands on Lord Hector of Ostia after she escapes from the siege of Castle Caelin and reaches for Eliwood and Hector's group to get help. It's also played for laughs when it is revealed that her Pegasus landed on him also. And for heartwarming if the player makes them reach an A support and see Florina trying to thank Hector for catching her, succeeding only at the end... and later they get Happily Married. | |

Well, they're kids, but Phineas and Ferb inverts this in one episode where Phineas is falling to his near-death, gets saved by an impromptu trampoline his love interest Isabella comes up with and bounces off of it into her arms. | |

Defenders of the Earth subverts this trope on a few occasions: In "The Prince Makes His Move", Prince Kro-Tan (disguised as a handsome Earthling) uses the telekinetic powers Zorelda gave him to sabotage Jedda's climbing equipment; he then catches her as she falls. Needless to say, it's all a trick on Kro-Tan's part so that he can gain Jedda's trust. The series also features two male-on-male examples. In "The Would-be Defender", Character of the Week Earl Sump lands in Flash's arms after his attempt to imitate one of his comic book heroes meets with rather predictable results. And, in "The Prince Triumphant", Lothar catches Mandrake after the latter is knocked out of the claws of a Manbat which has carried him into the air. |

Superman: Kal-El has been catching Lois Lane in his arms pretty much since his early adventures. Sometimes Lois herself jumped off a window only to draw his attention. In Superman: Secret Origin, Superman catches Lois when she gets blown off a rooftop. Justice opens up with a dream sequence where, among other things, Lois falls from a burning building and into Superman's arms. Males have been falling into Supergirl's arms for decades. Depending on the situation it was played for drama, romance... or laughs. As an example, in "Good-Looking Corpse", Supergirl catches a young boy falling from a rooftop, and then she finds out he willingly jumped off the building as a ploy to introduce himself and ask her number. Batman story The Attack of the Annihilator provides a more straight example when Batgirl gets blasted off a building and caught by Supergirl◊. Many Happy Returns has Linda Danvers catch an unconscious Kara in her arms after the latter is dropped by a pterosaur. In Red Daughter of Krypton, Red Lantern Bleez passes out as flying and is caught and taken to safety by Kara. |

Shovel Knight: Nearly every time Shovel Knight falls asleep at a campsite, he has a nightmare about his girlfriend Shield Knight plummeting towards the ground, where the dire prompt Catch Her will flash up while hordes of enemies will try and stop the knight and if the player lets her drop he will fail immediately making it one of the most poignant mini-games ever. Shovel Knight will have to catch Shield Knight for real during the final level of the game, in a complete tear jerking and emotionally satisfying moment. |

Louisa Musgroves invokes it in Persuasion by jumping from steps so that Captain Wentworth will catch her. When she does this from the Cobb at Lyme (a sea-wall with narrow stairs that were built way before safety standards, as adaptations filmed on location reveal) she jumps from a slightly unsafe height. Then she runs back up to a very unsafe height to do it again, ignoring Wentworth's protests. He fails to catch her and she sustains a serious head injury. | |

Raiders of the Lost Ark does it almost flawlessly, Indy is trapped in an Ancient Tomb while the Nazis are making off with the Arc of the Convenient and they decided to drop Indy's Old Flame Marion on top him. Toht pushes Marion into the tomb, Marion manages to catch a nearby Anubis statue to save her fall, but the statue cracks and she falls again but this time from a shorter height allowing Indy to catch her in his arms safely. But Marion is still angry at Indy for leaving her behind earlier in the movie, struggles out of his hold only to notice the snakes that are everywhere, and promptly scramble up onto his shoulders much to Indy's annoyance. This scene is parodied in LEGO Indiana Jones Marion is dropped into the tomb and Indy holds outs his small Lego arms to catch her, but Marion crashes to the floor unharmed, but angry at Indy. |

One Piece: Sanji adores this trope, he does it most frequently with Nami. The first time was in the anime when the crew was traveling upwards To Skypeia, all the weaker crewmates need to be grabbed before they fly away. Robin catches Chopper, Zoro keeps Usopp down with his foot and Sanji catches Nami his arms-bridal style, Sanji is overjoyed but Nami is too focused on the travel upwards to even notice. Sanji does it again with Porche in Davy Back arc Filler despite her status as an enemy and she even kisses his cheek in thanks, though this makes them both lose the game. Sanji catches Nami in the first trailer for One Piece: Pirate Warriors. While Usopp, Chopper, and Buggy get a rougher landing. Done once again but beautifully in Whole Cake island arc. Luffy catches Vivi when she's dropped off a palace by Crocodile, while Riding a Falcon-man too. It's a moment that is flashbacked to a lot in the anime and even more so in the movie. Cyborg Franky catches Robin in his arms in the Enies Lobby arc (Anime), it's a sweet moment◊. In the One Piece Film: Strong World this inverted slightly as Sanji after beating Scarlet, jumps to catch a falling Robin, but living skeleton Brook comes out of nowhere and catches Robin, while Sanji gets a rough landing. In the Dressrosa Arc Leo the Dwarf does this with Dwarf Princess Mansherry (they're more like pixies really). Mansherry has a strong crush on Leo, and much to the princess's delight Leo saves her and catches her in his tiny arms, but Leo then claims she's gotten heavier getting her angry. In fact, Leo is oblivious to fact she has feelings for him and gets angry when she asks for him to carry her away (thinking she's being selfish). The other Dwarves force him to do it and Leo reluctantly piggybacks her to safety with Princess snuggling against his back. In Wano Arc Filler Luffy plays this straight, catching Boa Hancock in his arms while escaping poisonous gas. |

Played straight AND subverted to good effect in the movie Enchanted — in the fairy tale world Prince Edward easily catches Princess Giselle in his arms in a straightforward fashion. Later, in "real world" New York, Princess Giselle falls on Robert and knocks him over. (Which is probably what would really happen if a woman fell on a man.) If you've seen the ending of the film, this trope gets inverted! After Robert wakes Giselle with True Love's Kiss, Narissa transforms into a dragon, kidnaps Robert and goes to the top of the Woolworth Building. Later, she falls down to her death, and Giselle, who chased after Narissa, catches Robert and both managed to stay on the roof, away from sure death. To add effect to the scenes, they pulled an ironic echo of the "Is this a big habit of yours, falling off stuff?" question. |

In X-Men: The Animated Series it happens like clockwork as flying heroines such Rogue, Storm and Jean are frequently (to point of it being almost a Running Gag) knocked out of the air requiring Cyclops, Wolverine or Gambit to catch them. Though much like the comics it’s a Double Standard e.g Rogue as a Flying Brick caught her non-flying love interest Gambit in her arms before dropping him safely in pond in Tsundere fashion. | |

Subverted in "The Frogs and the Lobsters" of Horatio Hornblower. Horatio escapes through a window and climbs down a wall, running away from a frenzied mob of French villagers who might want to behead him as he's a British Navy officer fighting for French Royalists. He persuades his Love Interest Mariette to go with him, and tells her to jump. He fails catching her, though. She hurts her leg, which makes their escape much harder. And surprisingly, Horatio averts another logical romantic gesture — Bridal Carry. He doesn't carry her and Mariette must keep hopping, leaning on his shoulder. | |

It happens a few times in early in the series, the first time was when Bulma falls out of an exploding vehicle, Goku caught her with ease amusing considering Goku was half her size at the time. Another time Bulma was falling, it was Yamcha who caught her but due to his shyness around beautiful women, he dropped her immediately. | |

In the second episode of Lois & Clark, the villains all but invoke this trope in an attempt to destroy Superman. Guessing that either Lois or Clark, who are known to have had contact with Superman, has some means of remotely contacting him, they pitch Lois out of an airplane and wait for Superman to show up. Clark dives after her (not waiting to be pushed), turns into Superman, and catches Lois. Her appreciation of both Superman and the save are obvious. (The missile they then aim at Superman as he drops off Lois is of course a No-Sell, but they didn't know to expect that as Superman is still new to Metropolis and hasn't shown all his powers yet.) The catch makes it into the opening credits as an iconic Lois/Superman moment. | |

Inverted in Sixes and Sevens. Howard is struck by Vertigo's disorientation powers, and his attempts to warn Peggy and Angie just lead to him collapsing into the latter's arms as they enter the lobby. | |

Goku does this his wife Chi-Chi later in Dragon Ball Z, when he wakes up after recovering from the heart virus, Chi-Chi is so overjoyed she hugs him Goku responds in kind by spinning her around and even throwing her up in the air (a little too high) and catching her. It's a sweet moment. | |

Invoked in the "Red Thread" chapter of Zekkyou Gakkyuu, where Izumi is cornered by a Girl Posse at the rooftop after she gets too close to a popular guy, Masaya. Surprisingly, the leader doesn't actually harass her, she simply tell her that Masaya is a womanizer and that she should give up on him. Izumi, who is certain that Masaya is her One True Love, tries to prove the other girl wrong by jumping off the rooftop, believing that he'll be there to catch her because he's her "fated" one. Unfortunately, the other girl was right, and as she's falling, Izumi sees Masaya kissing another girl, not even noticing her fall. | |

Subverted in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, when Luigi's parachute gives, and the shiny bishounen Prince Peasley holds his arms out to catch him... only to have Luigi knock him aside and the two to hit the ground anyway. | |

In Piofiore: Fated Memories, Lili falls into Dante's arms when she tries to escape from the Falzone Manor from the second-floor window, only for the rope to rip and for him to catch her from below. It also marks the start of their relationship. | |

Subverted in Justice League Unlimited when Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Superman are all turned into eight year olds and while they're fighting giant toy soldiers, Batman gets dropped and Wonder Woman catches him. He then crawls out of her embrace with his patented Bat-Scowl, insisting, "Leggo, I'm fine!" while she gives him an indulgent smile. It bears mentioning that grown up Wonder Woman has a bit of a thing for grown up Batman. | |
